On the eve of the 2014 NBA Draft, one of the most talented in recent memory, let's turn back the clock and look at the horrid 2013 draft.

From executives to expert writers almost everyone got it wrong. With a year's worth of knowledge, here's how the lottery probably gone down.

1. Cleveland Cavaliers

Who they picked: Anthony Bennett, UNLV

Bennett, all 4.2 points, three rebounds and 0.3 rebounds is on his way to becoming one of the biggest busts in NBA Draft history. The Cavs were hoping he could fill their void at the small forward spot with Kyrie Irving and Dion Waiters in the backcourt and Tristan Thompson and Anderson Varejao down low. It was a colossal failure. Irving is a budding superstar and he and Waiters aren't the best of friends. Taking Indiana's Victor Oladipo, who averaged 13,4 and 4 as rookie, comparable to Waiters' second-year figures. Waiters is great trade bait. The Cavs could have gotten a quality small forward in exchange for his services and secured one of the most athletic young backcourts in the league with Irving and Oladipo.

2. Orlando Magic

Who they picked: Victor Oladipo, Indiana

With Oladipo off the board, the Magic would have had to go hunting for a shooting guard. Michael-Carter Williams, last year's Rookie of the Year, is now with the 76ers and playing point guard but the lanky 6-foot-6 Syracuse product could easily play the two. He averaged 16 points to go along with six rebounds and as many assists. He would have started alongside an aging Jameer Nelson and Arron Afflalo.

3. Washington Wizards

Who they picked: Otto Porter, Jr., Georgetown

Porter played in just 37 games and averaged a grand total of two points. Tim Hardaway, Jr. the 24th overall pick would've been a solid pick here. His 10 points and 36.3 percent 3-point shooting was a bright spot during an otherwise bleak season for the New York Knicks.

4. Charlotte Bobcats (now Hornets)

Who they picked: Cody Zeller, Indiana

Zeller was average (6 points and 4.3 rebounds per) and the Bobcats reached the playoffs so he wasn't as bad a selection as others in this draft. However, first-team all-rookie choice Duke product Mason Plumlee contributed immediately as a hard-nosed defender and solid rebounder. He would've given Charlotte a little more of what it needed.

5. Phoenix Suns

Who they picked: Alex Len, Ukraine

The 7-foot-1 foreigner averaged two points and played in just 42 games and the Suns still won 50 games. They could have afforded to draft Kentucky's Nerlens Noel even if he had to sit out the entire season. Putting him together with the likes of Eric Bledsoe and Goran Dragic moving forward would've been a power play.

6. New Orleans Pelicans (Traded to Philadelphia)

Who they picked: Nerlens Noel, Kentucky

With Noel gone, the Sixers would have been thinking best player available. Michigan's Trey Burke would've addressed a need at point guard and his aggressiveness and shooting would be a huge help. He averaged 12.8 points and 5.7 assists while shooting 90 percent from the free throw line in Utah this past season.

7. Sacramento Kings

Who they picked: Ben McLeMore, Kansas

It didn't reflect in their final record, but I think the Kings did well here. McLemore showed flashes, dropping 31 in his debut and averaging 20 points through his first four contests in the league.

8. Detroit Pistons

Who they picked: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Georgia

Caldwell's weaknesses, primarily his inability to get his own shot off the dribble, shined bright in his rookie season, when he averaged just five points a game and played less than 20 minutes a night. They would've been wise to roll the dice on foreign-born Giannis Anteokounmpo. He was a 6-foot-9 small forward last year but has grown into a 6-11 stretch four in just a year's time. He would've been a great value pick for a team with issues all over the place.

9. Minnesota Timberwolves (Traded to Utah)

Who they picked:Trey Burke, Michigan

Lehigh's C.J. McCollum battled injuries but showed glimpses the shot-making ability that made him a mid-major player worth of a lottery pick when he was healthy from time to time. If given the minutes, he could be nice scoring point guard.

10. Portland Trailblazers

Who they picked: C.J. McCollum, Lehigh

With all of talent the Blazers had, they were playing with house money with a top 10 pick. They went with McCollum but they could've added another tough big man in Steven Adams of New Zealand and make Myers Leonard prove his mettle.

11. Philadelphia 76ers

Who they picked: Michael Carter-Williams, Syracuse

Here would've been a good spot to grab Zeller and add him to Burke and a roster that still had Evan Turner and Tony Wroten. They still wouldn't make the playoffs but it would have been a step in upgrading the roster.

12. Oklahoma City Thunder

Who they picked: Steven Adams, New Zealand

A lottery pick in this year's draft wound of helping one of the league's powers but with Adams no longer available the Thunder could have afforded to reach and grab center Gorgui Dienge out of Senagal. The 6-foot-11, 238-pounder wound up being a second-team all-rookie choice.

13. Dallas Mavericks (traded to Boston)

Who they picked: Kelly Olynyk, Gonzaga

This actually was the right pick. He went for eight points and five boards as a rookie and saw action in 70 games. At the time I was a huge Shabazz Muhammad fan but boy was wrong about him.
